TOPIC: deFLICKER, free (powered by Blue Mantle Films)

First of all: borrowed the idea, and thought “hmm, why not as a free plug-in?”

It is labeled as ‘b1’ - I don’t have any flickered material at hand, for testing I dl the one used in the original tutorial, which is 24fps:

Not sure, wether it needs individual versions for 25fps and 30fps (it shouldn't) … PLEASE share some feedback… And, please tell, wether you notice any flicker every 10secs … the Effect is set to a loop, but due to its tech, the first 1-2 frames are not deflickered. If so, I will adjust its length to 30? secs …

As mentioned in the original tut, it has its limitations … but, hey, for free? Just try …

After DL, un-zip and install, you find it in your Effects Tab; in the Inspector I published a Sharpen Effect, which is also mentioned in the OP…

Unfortunately it's not very consistent and I think it's due to the stretchable nature of an effect and timing. Even on a short 2 sec clip, the effect doesn't kick in until frame 3, and then the next layer still kicks in only 1 frame later on frame 4, so you end up with an uneven frame repetition. When I followed the tutorial, it actually looked pretty passable. Given, I gave it some tough footage. Some guys in a warehouse with a conveyor belt of boxes moving quickly in the foreground, so it's very easy to see the duplicates. BUT when they're evenly spaced, it looks pretty normal. I think I had a similar issue with my smooth strobe effect and I forget how I fixed it. Will have to revisit and see.
